Great....I found some more tools from this thread. I use Mockingbird which is an incredible app especially for those who are information architecture. I use online paid software GoalsOnTrack to keep myself accurate. I recommend Feng Office for free project management. And don't forget the best tool skype for communication.

Get the Adobe Suite, it comes with Dreamweaver and Photoshop as well as several other good programs. It is expensive, but if you know someone in college they can likely buy it in their college book store for 75%. It's discounted to college students.

I use "Gimp" when i am making images, that said, im not very good at foing it, so usually ask someone else to do them for me for a small fee.
But, when i am making simple images that i can handle, like some promotional banners & buttons, i think Gimp is really good for it.
Its is a bit like PhotoShop, but less complicated & it is also free, compared to the price PhotoShop can be, i would say thats amazing!

Dreamweaver has been around for a while and has always been popular. May be too high end for most.

If you want to publish databases on the web, Cold Fusion is the software to use from what I hear.

I use Net Objects Fusion and have for over ten years. Similar to Dreamweaver and is perfect for just about any small business site development.

Strangely, I've run into web developers and they claim to code manually. Why is beyond me.

Some advice: if you are going to invest in a web design tool, make sure it is a site development as opposed to a page tool. Microsoft's Front Page was a page development tool. This means you have to carefully link those pages yourself. Net Objects is a site design tool as is Dreamweaver which means I don't have to worry about linking and a bunch of other things. The software keeps track and handles all of it. I can even change the names and destination of pages and it will handle it.
